Margaret River

Southwest of Perth, the Margaret River Region is an area
characterised by dairy farms and wineries set within a picturesque
landscape, and is Western Australia's most popular holiday
destination. The area was initially discovered by surfers, but now
holidaymakers of all kinds head here by the thousand for the
tranquil atmosphere, clean beaches and excellent restaurants, often
attached to wineries. The area also has more galleries, craft
studios and potteries than the rest of the state put together.
Margaret River is also well known for its many caves, some of the
best of which are open to visitors and feature extraordinary
formations. The spectacular show caves are called Jewel, Lake,
Mammoth and Moondyne, with Moondyne offering a thrilling three-hour
exploration tour.
